How can I get rid of ants in my home?

Getting rid of ants in your home involves a combination of prevention, elimination, and deterrent measures. Here are some steps you can take: Cleanliness is Key: Keep your home clean and free of food crumbs and spills. Wipe down surfaces regularly to eliminate food residue that attracts ants. Keep Food Secure: Store food in airtight containers to prevent ants from accessing it. Clean pet bowls regularly and don’t leave pet food out for extended periods. Professional Pest Control: If the infestation persists, consider hiring a professional pest control service for a more comprehensive solution.

How can I keep rodents (mice and rats) out of my home?

Preventing rodents like mice and rats from entering your home involves a combination of sealing entry points and maintaining cleanliness. Here are some effective strategies: Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, and openings, especially around doors, windows, and utility entrances. Seal gaps with weather stripping, and install door sweeps to prevent rodents from entering. Keep the Exterior Clean: Trim vegetation and remove debris near the perimeter of your home. Store firewood, mulch, and other materials away from the house, as these can provide hiding spots for rodents. Secure Food Sources: Store food in airtight containers to deny rodents easy access. Clean up food crumbs and spills promptly, especially in the kitchen and dining areas. Use Rodent-Proof Containers: Store trash in bins with tight-fitting lids to prevent rodents from scavenging for food. Pet Food Management: Don’t leave pet food out overnight; store it in sealed containers. Clean up spilled pet food promptly. Professional Pest Control: If the rodent infestation is severe, consider hiring a professional pest control service for a more comprehensive solution.

When is the best time of year to treat my home for spiders and flies?

Early Spring: Consider treating your home in early spring before insects and spiders become more active. This can help prevent infestations before they start.

Is the insecticide safe for use in my home?

Professional Assistance: If you are unsure about the safety or appropriate use of a particular insecticide, consider seeking advice from a professional pest control service.

How can I get rid of fleas in my home and on my pets?

Dispose of the vacuum bag or clean the vacuum canister promptly to prevent fleas from re-infesting your home. Wash Bedding and Linens: Wash pet bedding, your bedding, and any other linens in hot water to kill flea eggs, larvae, and adults. Dry on the highest heat setting.

The Genus (Genera) technicians assigned to Auckland Meat Processors were very professional to deal with. They have implemented long term preventative measures to address vermin issues on the site rather than short term reactions to reported sightings.

Genus have met and exceeded my expectations

For me a key component in any pest management control is not so much the standard package of bait stations, sprays and insect because probably many companies would do a similar thing – but the real test is ability and capacity to readily move to address a particular problem which may have manifested itself at any particular site. Genus (Genera) have met and exceeded my expectations in this regard in our Store.
